Northern Thai Food for a New Mag

We had the best intentions for one, maybe even two posts this week. But relatives arrived, work piled up, travel plans had to be made, life got in the way. It happens.

In a couple days we all depart for Cambodia and Chiang Mai (and Dave heads to Vientiane for the first time since 1995, for a spot of work). While we're on the road we'll try to post from there, if not of there.

In the meantime, there's a new beautiful food magazine out of Norway called Aroma. The publishers invited us to put together an article for the first issue, and we wrote and photographed on something we'll be enjoying very soon: northern Thai food.

One more bit of news: this month's issue of Australian Gourmet Traveller magazine includes a lovely write-up on food in Penang. I (Robyn) happily steered GT writer and editor Pat Nourse to some of my most loved eats in George Town ... and was surprised to see the article includes a photo of me at our very favorite restaurant Tek Sen. Thanks to Pat and photographer Christopher Wise for making me sound informed and look not too bad.
